Distributed Scalable Multi-Robot Learning using Particle Swarm Optimization

Alcherio Martinoli, James Pugh

Designing effective behavioral controllers for mobile robots can be difficult and tedious; this process can be circumvented by using online learning techniques which allow robots to generate their own controllers online in an automated fash- ion. In multi- ...

Towards a self-deploying and gliding robot

Dario Floreano, Mirko Kovac, Jean-Christophe Zufferey

Strategies for hybrid locomotion such as jumping and gliding are used in nature by many different animals for traveling over rough terrain. This combination of locomotion modes also allows small robots to overcome relatively large obstacles at a minimal en ...

The Hand-bot, a Robot Design for Simultaneous Climbing and Manipulation

Francesco Mondada, Michael Bonani, Stéphane Magnenat, Philippe Rétornaz

We present a novel approach to mobile object manipulation for service in indoor environments. Current research in service robotics focus on single robots able to move, manipulate objects, and transport them to various locations. Our approach differs by tak ...

Stochastic Strategies for a Swarm Robotic Assembly System

We present a decentralized, scalable approach to assembling a group of heterogeneous parts into different products using a swarm of robots. While the assembly plans are predetermined, the exact sequence of assembly of parts and the allocation of subassembl ...

Methods for Artificial Evolution of Truly Cooperative Robots

Dario Floreano, Laurent Keller

Cooperation applies the situations where two or more individuals obtain a net benefit by working together. Cooperation is widely spread in nature and takes several forms, ranging from behavioral coordination to sacrifice of one’s own life for the benefit o ...

Active Vision for Goal-Oriented Humanoid Robot Walking

Dario Floreano, Mototaka Suzuki

Complex visual tasks may be tackled with remarkably simple neural architectures generated by a co-evolutionary process of active vision and feature selection. This hypothesis has recently been tested in several robotic applications such as shape discrimina ...

Multi-Robot Exploration and Fire Searching

Ali Marjovi

Exploration of an unknown environment is a fundamental concern in mobile robotics. This paper presents an approach for cooperative multi-robot exploration, fire searching and mapping in an unknown environment. The proposed approach aims to minimize the ove ...

View-Based Maps

Pascal Fua, Vincent Lepetit, Michael Calonder

Robotic systems that can create and use visual maps in realtime have obvious advantages in many applications, from automatic driving to mobile manipulation in the home. In this paper we describe a mapping system based on retaining views of the environment ...

Distributed Boundary Coverage with a Team of Networked Miniature Robots using a Robust Market-Based Algorithm

Alcherio Martinoli, Nicolaus Correll, Patrick Amstutz

We study distributed boundary coverage of known environments using a team of miniature robots. Distributed boundary coverage is an instance of the multi-robot task-allocation problem and has applications in inspection, cleaning, and painting among others. ...
